I want to embed a video in Power Point. Where can I find the directions on how to do this?
I want to teach about electrical circuits to second graders. How many videos/video clips are available? Watch one of them and review it.
This is my first year teaching in the primary grades. I need some songs to help me with the morning calendar. Find me a song!
How many different frog sounds can you find? Hint: click in the Media space when you search.
